Chapter 235: Alchemy Conference
A few days is not too long, but it is not too short. Now Zhao Yulong practices dragon boxing during the day, and forges his spiritual power at night.
Although these days are not very long, they are very fulfilling. However, it was a pity that he did not make any breakthrough in the few days in this cultivation room, which made Zhao Yulong feel a little surprised.
But it's not surprising that it's been less than a month since the last breakthrough. And now it's a bit of a fool's dream to even think about breaking through, so at the moment, this speed is still normal.
After all, growing up too fast is not a troublesome thing sometimes, and it is also a good choice to spend the rest of the time cultivating every time you break through now.
So now after a few days, although Zhao Yulong has indeed not made much breakthrough above the realm. But there are a lot of cultivation in strength, at least there are more than 100 moves above the Dragon Fist, and I have learned three or four.
Although this is relatively small compared to the entire book, these moves alone are enough for Zhao Yulong to be rampant.
The first ten moves will be a combination of strength and qi, and if you can concentrate the power of your whole body by cultivating such an ability, this attack will be even more powerful than usual.
And at present, Zhao Yulong has already felt that the aura in his body is very smooth, and if he uses it, it will definitely be much stronger than usual.
And this is just a few of the simplest moves in the first ten styles, if you learn the entire first ten styles, the spiritual power that bursts out can be imagined.
And if you learn to master this entire dragon fist, it will naturally be even more terrifying. However, Zhao Yulong didn't dare to think about these things at present, after all, he didn't have such an ability now.
Just the first few formulas made Zhao Yulong feel a little overwhelmed, not to mention that he had learned everything. This dragon fist is more difficult to learn than one move!
But now these few tricks are enough, and naturally I don't have to worry about saving my life. Looking at the entire imperial kingdom, it seems that it has not been able to completely survive the first few forms of his dragon fist!
So with such results, Zhao Yulong felt very happy, after all, this meant that he was one step closer to the strongest. And this also means that if you are accidentally exposed, you can survive some hole cards.
However, compared to these, Zhao Yulong obviously cared more about this alchemy conference, after all, there was only a five-year conference in the main hall, how could it be very ordinary?
It is estimated that in such a conference, the entire academy will participate in refining pills! When the time comes, you will really be able to gain knowledge, after all, there will definitely be something that you don't know about among the medicinal materials refined by so many people, so you can also steal a teacher to learn the art during the competition.
And in addition, there seems to be some kind of reward for the alchemy conference, which is said to be a weapon. Although Zhao Yulong is not short of weapons, it would be a good thing if he could use these weapons.
At least if you sell him as scrap metal, you can get a few hundred coins! If you exchange it for a magic crystal, it will be one, and the magic crystal is the common currency of the Celestial Race or the Demon Race.
This means that I will have a meal in other races in the future, but this exchange rate is a bit scary for so much money to exchange for such a little!
But it's also the case, after all, the resources of these races are not comparable to those of a mere imperial state. Perhaps a bun eaten by others is likely to be more precious than the food eaten by the emperor here.
So there are so many benefits here, Zhao Yulong feels that if he doesn't compare, how can he feel at ease.
Anyway, if you lose, it won't matter, and if you win, no one will doubt your bloodline. After all, under normal circumstances, there is not much spiritual power release, so this kind of competition is also safe for oneself.
In short, Zhao Yulong has thought about this plan, don't be in a hurry to show his strength at first, and then improve it according to the grade of the elixir refined by the best alchemist before in the last game.
After all, this is a competition supervised by the academy, which is different from the outside, and if he is too prominent and steals the limelight of those nobles, it will naturally cause the elders to be dissatisfied.
Zhao Yulong wasn't afraid that these elders would be dissatisfied, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves. So now that we encounter such a situation, we can only decide like this, but it doesn't hurt, anyway, the final champion must be Zhao Yulong's.
Although it is very likely that you will not be able to perceive your limit, you are not in a hurry now, there will be an opportunity to refine the pill in the future, and it will be almost the same if you can stabilize it to a certain extent now.
Obviously, the assembly had already begun, and almost all the disciples trotted to the place where the assembly began. It's not so much a place of alchemy as it is like the Colosseum.
After all, the whole building is circular, leaving a large open space in the middle, which is the venue of the contestants participating in this competition. And all the seats around the circle are spectators.
The bottom floor of the auditorium has 500 seats, which are increased in turn, and 30 seats are added to each floor. And the whole building is ten stories high, and the building is very majestic.
However, Zhao Yulong knew that even if it was such a building, even if it added another floor, it would not be able to seat all the disciples, because there were too many geniuses in these days.
Although these geniuses are all one in a million, one out of every 10,000 people in the entire imperial kingdom is too much.
All the disciples at the moment are actually standing on the steps, but this is also good, so that it is convenient to observe the situation on the field and not be blocked by the people in front of them.
And there are quite a few disciples participating in this competition, although these alchemists are too rare to be said to be rare things outside, but they are a bit too many to be placed among this group of geniuses.
Now the number of disciples participating in the entire alchemy conference has reached three hundred, and most of them are alchemists above the fourth grade. This spectacular scene is definitely something that cannot be seen outside the academy, because only the academy can gather so many geniuses.
For Zhao Yulong, more people means a long time. And the more pills you can see, the greater the chance of success when you can steal it.
As for whether you can win the first place or not, it is not really important, after all, the things you gain from participating are actually a lot more than the rewards you get.
Now being able to compete with so many geniuses is also what Zhao Yulong has been looking forward to for a long time, he hopes that there will be so many medicine king-level geniuses here, so that he can learn more.
However, obviously, alchemy has not started yet, after all, the academy still has to count the alchemists present. After all, in the past, the academy had encountered disciples who didn't know how to refine medicine but wanted to participate in this for fun, so now these elders naturally want to put an end to this situation.
And the way of this inspection is also very simple, that is, to ask these disciples to show proof of rank. After all, there are a lot of places in the entire imperial kingdom about the assessment level of alchemists, including the alchemist family that Zhao Yulong came into contact with before.
Therefore, basically those who can become alchemists will be assessed, and naturally this certificate will become a symbol of the identity of these alchemists.
And even the disciples who didn't have this kind of certificate knew that there were elders in the academy who had such an assessment, so they would definitely go to get a grade certificate before the conference began.
So now it seems that those who can participate in this conference should have a certificate of rank, but some people want to fish in troubled waters, so these elders still have to check it now.
"What about your proof?" Now these elders were asking the disciples in front of them, and now it reminded Zhao Yulong that his level certificate seemed to be placed in the dragon ring.
Fortunately, I was ranked in an inconspicuous place at the end because of my late registration, so now I have time to tinker with my dragon ring.
However, these elders are very efficient, because they don't care too much about these proofs at all, and basically pass them in a flash. So this speed is very fast, and naturally it is getting closer and closer to Zhao Yulong.
However, Zhao Yulong is not in a hurry, although he really hasn't found it now, but it doesn't matter, since he has put it in this dragon ring, it is not particularly difficult to find out.
And at this moment, an elder came over: "What are you messing with? Is there or not, if not, get out of here!"
Obviously, these elders were deliberately targeting themselves, after all, they were the only ones on the entire registration form who did not fill in the paternal or maternal line.
This means that he is a powerless commoner who is explained to them, and now those nobles are not easy to offend, but these commoners are easy to say.
If there is a hierarchy, it is a big deal to let him compete, and if not, this is what these elders expect.
Because they didn't dare to yell at these nobles, and others didn't and didn't dare to speak harshly. And these civilians are different, anyway, if there is no backstage, it will not be good.
And once these civilians are dismissed, it will naturally play a role in killing these nobles, so that they can also consciously feel afraid to leave this assembly.
And as far as the eye can see, there is only Zhao Yulong, a civilian, who else can they find if they don't go to Zhao Yulong?
But they came at the right time, and now Zhao Yulong just took out the certificate, put it in front of his eyes and said, "Here, do you think it's okay?"
To be honest, the elder was a little surprised. He thought that Zhao Yulong would not be able to find this proof at all, but now that he had found it, he even suspected that his experience over the years had all gone wrong.
After all, according to the usual practice, there are basically no disciples who have been pretending to be looking for things, but they want to save some face.
And for this kind of disciple, these elders just don't want to give them any face. So seeing such a move, they were also very targeted, but seeing Zhao Yulong at the moment made him a little surprised.
Yes, Zhao Yulong didn't develop in the direction he thought at all, and now that he has come up with this proof, the humiliating words that he thought of before can only be held back in his heart.
However, for them, they will not let Zhao Yulong go so easily, and now seeing Zhao Yulong take out this proof, he did not leave, but took it in his hand and examined it carefully.
Yes, he has always seen it at a glance with other disciples, but here with Zhao Yulong, he always wants to pick out the bones among the eggs.
He hoped that there was some error in this proof, even if it was just a small mistake, and that what he had thought of before was not in vain.
Because as soon as he finds something wrong, he will definitely directly make Zhao Yulong lose face, after all, if he wants to deter these noble children, he can only rely on Zhao Yulong.
But the more he tried to find the flaw, the more he couldn't find it, and yes, it proved that there was nothing wrong with it. It is said that even ordinary proofs may have some mistakes, but Zhao Yulong's one is so perfect, perfect that these elders feel very uncomfortable.
But he couldn't find anything to say, so he could only return this certificate to Zhao Yulong: "Prince Yu, a third-grade alchemist, with your strength, you dare to come here to compete, aren't you afraid of losing face?"
Zhao Yulong naturally knew that he would say this, after all, the level certificate that the alchemist family could give was only so high. After all, such a level is still very conspicuous in the imperial kingdom, but it is a bit at the bottom here.
However, this is not the bottom, after all, there are still five-grade alchemists here. However, they are all nobles, and only Zhao Yulong's status in this academy is a commoner.
So only Zhao Yulong will be treated specially, but this can't deny Zhao Yulong. Because Zhao Yulong's own true strength is far more than that, this is just shown to them on the surface.
And this was a few years ago, and now I don't know how many blocks I can throw them away.
So today's Zhao Yulong is naturally very calm: "Yes! After all, making friends is important! Everyone is an alchemist, and it is not a bad thing to be able to compete more and communicate more." And there is no clear boundary in this conference, so I think I can participate. ”
This made these elders a little unhappy, after all, ordinary disciples understood when they heard his words that he wanted people to quit. However, after hearing this, Zhao Yulong did not quit, but still felt that he was very good, which made the elder feel a little uncomfortable.
However, under such circumstances, the elder's displeasure in his heart could not be directly expressed, so now he had to say another way: "Yes, we have no threshold for participation." But you don't want to make it through the first round with your strength?"
Sure enough, this old thing still did not change his mind, and wanted to withdraw himself from this conference, so that he could still shake these noble children to play the role of killing chickens and monkeys.
But the more the elder thought like this, the more Zhao Yulong wouldn't let him get his wish, so now he hurriedly said: "I don't dare to say anything else, but I am still confident that I can pass the first round of assessment." ”
"You!" This made the elder very angry, but he had no way to say anything about Zhao Yulong. After all, Zhao Yulong didn't violate the rules of the entire conference, how could he have any reason to let him leave here?
So now he has no choice but to admit it, but he doesn't plan to make Zhao Yulong feel better. Since Zhao Yulong said in front of so many disciples that he could pass the first round, as long as he could make Zhao Yulong unable to pass the first round, he would be able to hit Zhao Yulong at that time.
So now for this old thing, his purpose is no longer to deter these nobles, but to simply hit Zhao Yulong and make him lose confidence in this aspect, although it is not good for him, but he is comfortable in his heart.
So now he directly announced: "Everyone has also heard, this third-grade alchemist, this mountain village wild boy who has never seen anything, this civilian actually said that he can pass the first round." I'd love to see how he can get through, so in order to quickly see the so-called abilities of this civilian, I won't say anything about the speech at the beginning of the competition, and go straight to the first round!"
When this elder spoke, he repeatedly said that the commoners also accentuated the tone, obviously wanting all the disciples to look down on Zhao Yulong, so that his goal had been achieved, and now almost all the disciples' eyes were on Zhao Yulong.
However, these disciples did not reject Zhao Yulong like this elder, although they didn't look down on civilians very much, after all, they had been instilled with the idea of how noble their blood was since they were children, and they were naturally arrogant.
However, they felt a little grateful to Zhao Yulong, because if it wasn't for Zhao Yulong, they would have to listen to this elder's speech for an afternoon.
And what this elder said was basically nonsense, and it was a waste of their time and life for these disciples. They are here to watch the game, not to listen to this useless nonsense.
So now that Zhao Yulong has canceled this speech, these disciples think that Zhao Yulong is still good, but it is just that they feel that Zhao Yulong is not bad at this time.
Now this elder acted quickly, obviously wanting to see Zhao Yulong make a fool of himself, so he quickly brought a bunch of medicinal materials, which were obviously used for the first round of the competition.
And most of these medicinal materials have dried up, and the medicinal power is basically not large, and some have even lost their medicinal power, and they are definitely not used to refine pills.
And what is the effect of these medicinal materials that cannot be alchemized? Obviously, he wants these disciples to recognize these medicinal materials, after all, the first step in refining medicine is to recognize these medicinal materials.
If an alchemist doesn't even know the medicinal materials, and adds them casually when refining them, what kind of good things can this refining thing be? It must be harmful to others and himself, so it is reasonable to use this in the first round of assessment.
